Project Description

Sampling Declaration

important variant readings from other MSS and editorial notes are integrated
into the apparatus.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked, proof-read twice and parsed
using NSGMLS.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. U with
overdot is not supported by browsers and was regularized u, bh, or f accordingly,
with the original retained in the markup. The sigla .u./.v. with circle over it
for 'vero' have been expanded.

Quotation

Direct speech is marked Q.

Hyphenation

Hyphens have been inserted after h- in anlaut and after
nasalisation. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, the
page-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word. Soft hyphens
are silently removed.

Segmentation

div0=the whole text.

Interpretation

Expansions of abbreviations (italicized in the hardcopy)
are not marked in the digital text. Names of persons (given names), places and
group names are tagged. Page breaks are marked pb n="". Text
supplied by the editor is tagged SUP RESP="CLS". Some
manuscript variants are integrated into the apparatus. Poems/rhetoric passages
are treated as embedded texts, with line groups numbered and a caesura marked by
|.

Canonical References

The n attribute of each text in this corpus
carries a unique identifying number for the whole text.

The title of the text is held as the first head
element within each text.
